They sat back and Noah continued holding her hand. "I bought a house for us." Noah said after a while.
"Noah!" Samantha watched him shocked. "Why did you do that! I thought we weren't going to rush things."
Liam watched his brother from the mirror and said, "Yeah bro, you're so not pressuring her."
Noah ignored his brother. "Dimples, it's for whenever you're ready. I want you to see it."
"No, she's not going."
Noah continued to ignored his brother. "I'll call you. I can't talk certain things here."
"Why not, go ahead flaunt your wealth and all the plans you're making for her so you can overwhelm her somemore."
"You two stop it! Noah the house sounds great but you shouldn't have. Please just give me some time." She squeezed his hand and pressed a kiss to his cheek.
Samantha had two interviews the next day. She was looking for jobs she could do on evenings. The fast food outlet sounded good but while she was there the smell of fried chicken had her feeling nauseous. She had to run out of the place after the interview. The second job was delivering mail and packages in a company. The walking might become too much after a while when she was more advanced in her pregnancy. But she needed the money and this was much better. So she took it. They asked her if she could start tomorrow and she said yes.
Her father still wouldn't look at her and her mom would barely talk to her. Samantha felt awkward and lonely being at home. Maybe she should move out and get a place of her own.
The next day she went classes. Had lunch with the twins and her best friend. When classes were over she rushed to leave.
"Samantha, where are you going?" Liam called.
"I'll be late for work."
"Since when do you work?".
"Since my father refused to pay my tuition. Look Liam I have to go. Your mom said she'd collect the results for us. Maybe we can open it together tomorrow. Later Liam."
The next day Noah called to say they were coming over with the results.
She arrived home from the new job and her feet were killing her. Samantha had asked Noah if they could open the paternity results at his parents. She couldn't do it at home. Her father would trip and do something crazy, if he was aware of what they were doing.
Samantha wanted the twins parents to be there just in case because, they were reasonable and rational and would be able to calm either twin if they started over reacting. She quickly took a bath and by the time she was all dressed and combing her hair, they called to say, they were there.
This time she sat in the back with Liam while Noah drove.
"How was the new job?" Liam asked.
"Tiring. I never walked so much in my life."
"You know you don't need to work. We can take care of you."
"I want to take care of myself."
